Common Personal Injury Lawsuits

Not all personal injuries are grounds for claims or lawsuits. In some circumstances, the only person responsible for your damages is you. In many situations, however, accidents trace back to someone else’s negligence or intent to harm. Greene County has legal systems in place for victims of negligence, to help them recoup their losses after an injurious accident. Common incidents we see here in the City of Xenia include:

Car accidents

Slip and falls

Defective products

Workplace accidents

Whether you were involved in a catastrophic vehicle collision or a harmful fall while at work, speak to an attorney. Someone may be liable for your medical bills, missed wages, and pain and suffering. In a car accident, for example, the other driver may be guilty of texting and driving or driving under the influence. In these circumstances, the courts will make the at-fault party pay for victim(s) damages. It takes a knowledgeable team of attorneys to investigate a personal injury incident, determine liability, and prove negligence.

After an accident that leaves you in the hospital, bedridden, out of work, or permanently disabled, you may not know where to turn.
